Feeling a lot like Fall…

Yesterday was a breezy, blustery day here in Thornbury. We did a ladies’ walk along the lakeshore here accompanied by very grey waves and a stormy sky. The same group had lunch and then dinner together last night. Quite the sisterhood! We even had an indoors putting contest to close off the evening. Longtime friends are the best friends! In the meantime, here are some viewing suggestions for you:

AMC

Black Snow (From Australia, 6 episodes) In 1995, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated the Australian South Sea Islander county of Elizabeth. A very slow burn of a mystery starring Travis Fimmel.

Dark Winds (6 episodes) tribal policeman Joe Leaphorn investigates the death of a man involved in a mysterious cult, while Ji Chee, moonlighting as a PI works a case of his own. When the investigations collide, Leaphorn and Chee find themselves in grave danger. Stars the great Zahn McClarnon. Very dark and a bit slow.

Apple TV

Invasion (Season 2, 10 episodes) Mitsuki is taken to an alien ship in the Amazon jungle. Aneesha and her children take refuge with a group called the Movement. So dark and mysterious…

CBC Gem

The Ketchup War (Short Documentary) This is the story of French’s vs Heinz, and how the people of Leamington, Ontario (AKA the Tomato Capital of Canada) got caught up in Canada’s greatest food fight.

The Donut King (documentary, 1 h 30 m) Tells Ted Ngoy’s story that is one of fate, love, survival, hard knocks and redemption.

The US and the Holocaust (Documentary, 6 episodes) Tells the story of how the American people grappled with one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century, and how this struggle tested the ideals of their democracy.

Disney

Life & Beth (10 episodes) The cracks in every aspect of Beth’s seemingly great but unfulfilling life are starting to show when she gets earth-shattering news that will upend it altogether. Amy Shumer writes, directs and stars in this wonderful series. Who knew she was so talented?

Only Murders in the Building (season 3, 10 episodes) I found Season 1 too silly to watch, skipped Season 2 altogether but couldn’t help tuning in to Season 3 featuring Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd. Still so silly, but who could resist?

Boston Strangler (1 h 52 m) Loretta cLaughlin was the reporter who first connected the murders and broke the story of the Boston Strangler. She and Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960’s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer.

Ahsoka (8 episodes) After the fall of the Galactic Empire, former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tao investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. So Star Wars!!! Stars Rosario Dawson.

FX

Breeders (Season 4, 10 episodes) A couple struggles with the challenges of marriage and parenthood. Stars Martin Freeman, Daisy Haggard, Alun Armstrong, Stella Gonet, Patrick Baladi. Very wry and British.

Justified: City Primeval  (8 episodes) Series based on Elmore Leonard’s novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit”. Stars Timothy Olyphant and Boyd Holbrook. So glad to have Raylan Givens back!

What We Do in the Shadows (Season 5, 10 episodes) I keep forgetting to write about this delightful vampire series. Not for everyone, but I find it hilarious. Especially poor Guillermo, the familiar, who is literally dying to become a vampire.

Crave

Telemarketers (Documentary, 3 episodes) Follows former telemarketing employees Pat Pespas and Sam Lipman-Stern, two longtime office friends who find themselves hot on the trail of a sobering look at the ugly side of American capitalism and the abuse of customer trust.

Netflix

Heroin(e) (Short Documentary, 39 m) three women fight to break the cycle one life at a time.

Who is Erin Carter? (7 episodes) Erin Carter, a British teacher in Spain, finds herself caught up in a supermarket robbery. When one of the robbers claims to recognize her, her life threatens to unravel. Fabulous! I watched all episodes in one evening!

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (1 h 43 m) Follows Stacey Friedman as she prepares for her Bat Mitzvah, but her plans comedically unravel and threaten to ruin the event. Ooh, my curiosity drove me to break my own vow to never watch anything starring Adam Sandler. Such dreck! So many stereotypes. I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. Adam Sandler casts his own wife and two daughters in major roles. It does convey the heightened emotions and social pressure that weigh heavily on the middle school age group. Kind of a Euphoria for the pre-teen age group.

Prime

Harlan Coben’s Shelter (8 episodes) the story of Mickey Bolitar and his new life with a mom in rehab, a dead father, an annoying aunt, and a new school in New Jersey. I’ll bite, as I kind of enjoyed this young adult drama.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (from Australia, 7 episodes) Follows a young girl, Alice Hart, whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life. Stars Sigourney Weaver (who could have used a better dialect coach), Asher Keddie. Mesmerizing but very dark.

Streaming

Decision to Leave (Korean, 2 h 19 m) A detective investigating a man’s death in the mountains meets the dead man’s mysterious wife in the course of his dogged sleuthing. So dark and complicated, I think you might have to watch it a second time to follow the twists and turns.

Past Lives (Korean, 1 h 45 m) Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends are wrested apart after Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Twenty years later they are reunited for one fateful week as they confront notions of love and destiny. Bittersweet.

Heels (Season 2, 8 episodes) The brothers are still at it wrestling over their father’s wrestling empire in small-town Georgia. You have to really like Canadian actor Stephen Amell to like this!

Closing Words

Randy Rainbows’s latest opus:

George’s great big escape from Kelowna fires adventure…

George included this little tidbit in his regular golf letter yesterday:

“Many of you you have been asking if I made it safely out of Kelowna yesterday.  I’m now back in Thornbury after a wild day that included cancelled flights out of Kelowna where the airport was closed,  a 700 km smoke filled series of taxi rides via Revelstoke and Golden to Calgary, an overnight in a Calgary hotel and a 6:15 am flight back to Toronto.”

Of course, George didn’t include any hyperbolic descriptions of being abandoned by one taxi driver who left him with his golf bag and luggage  by the side of the road when he found out his family was being evacuated in Kelowna and had to hurry home to them. When instructed to go to the local taxi dispatch office in Revelstoke, only to find it boarded up, he was then rerouted to the local laundromat which was how the new dispatch office. His second driver was in the bathtub when he got the request to drive George to Calgary, so there was a slight delay involved. Upon leaving the Calgary Airport Marriott to catch his flight, he was passed by arriving travellers from the Yellowknife fires who had been evacuated to Calgary.

Anyhow, as George was anxiously making his way home from Kelowna, I was compulsively bingeing 20 episodes of a modern day Western series on a drizzly Friday that had resulted in my regular golf game being cancelled. My week had included a visit from two nieces who now live in LA and Mexico as well as one of the Kelowna golf widows who joined me for Yoga by the pool (led by my niece Sarah, a certified Yogini), walks by the Bay, and travels into downtown Thornbury. This week we will be back in TO to visit family. We’re off to play golf this morning and then are going to a Barn Warming potluck with friends in Meaford.

And now for some viewing suggestions:

Live on Stage

Featuring Shipyard Kitchen Party: Tom Thomson’s Wake An Original Folk Musical (Meaford Hall) What a delight this show was: great musicianship and musical score, beautiful backdrop featuring revolving slides of Tom Thomson’s art along with members of the Group of Seven.

At age 95, Roman comes out and his family must adjust to the secret he has been hiding from them for their entire lives. Touching, bittersweet, and funny. What a family!!

Stuff the British Stole (documentary, 6 episodes) The British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Those objects are housed in museums and galleries across the world. The true histories behind those objects – and those who want them back. Very enjoyable look at Britain’s colonial history.

Girl like You (Documentary, 60 m) As a couple battles to stay together while one of them transitions genders, they confront the effects of new body parts, changing gender roles, and navigate their own evolving sexual identities. Fascinating and touching.

You and Me (3 episodes) When Ben met Jess it was love at first sight and things moved faest. But a terrible tragedy left Ben strugglig to move on. Can aspiring actress Emma help turn things around? Loved this!!!

Crave

Disney

Only Murders in the Building (season 3, 10 episodes) I found Season 1 too silly to watch, skipped Season 2 altogether but couldn’t help tuning in to Season 3 featuring Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd. Still so silly, but who could resist?

Netflix

What would Sophia Loren Do? (Documentary 32 m) an Italian-American grandmother and film buff finds strength and joy in the lfe of her screen idol, Sophia Loren. Delightful!!!

Pieces of Her (8 episodes) On her 30th birthday out for lunch with her mother, the day suddenly explodes into violence. An adrift youg woan’s perception of her mother is forever changed. Strs Toni Collette. Don’t bother with this awful show!!!

Five Came Back (Documentary, 3 episodes) The wartime contributions of five prominent Hollywood film directors during WWII are profiled. Steven Spielberg is a producer and Meryl Streep narrates. Touching and illuminating. One of the finest documentaries I have ever seen. Watch for the footage from The Best Years of Our Lives, both my own and Spielberg’s favourite film.

Prime

Harlan Coben’s Shelter (8 episodes) the story of Mickey Bolitar and his new life with a mom in rehab, a dead father, an annoying aunt, and a new school in New Jersey. I’ll bite, as I kind of enjoyed this young adult drama.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (from Australia, 7 episodes) Follows a young girl, Alice Hart, whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life. Stars Sigourney Weaver (who could have used a better dialect coach), Asher Keddie. Mesmerizing but very dark.

Mothering Sunday (1 h 44 m) A maid living in post-WWI England secretly plans to meet with the man she loves before he leaves to marry another woman. Stupefyingly slow, I defy you to keep your eyes open during this.

Streaming

Reservation  Dogs (28 episodes, Season 3) comedy series about four Native American teenagers growing up o a reservation in eastern Oklahoma. It grows on you!!

Joe Pickett (2 seasons, 20 episodes) Based on the crime novels of CJ Box, it follows a game warden and his family during a changing political and socioeconomic climate in a small rural town. Could have been told in far fewer episodes. Having read the novels, I watched out of curiosity. If you like Yellowstone, you may enjoy this modern day Western.

Heels (Season 2, 8 episodes) The brothers are still at it wrestling over their father’s wrestling empire in small-town Georgia. You have to really like Canadian actor Stephen Amell to like this!

No Hard Feelings (1 h 43 m) On the brink of losing her home, Maddie finds an intriguing job listing: helicopter parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son out of his shell before college.

HBO Rogers On Demand

100 Years of Warner Brothers (Documentary, 4 episodes) 100 year old Warner Bros. takes a historical look at the legacy of one of America’s leading studios. The documentary explores the origin, evolution and endurance of Warner Bros. – from a family affair to a global juggernaut. The history of the movies! Does it get any better than this?

Closing Words

For anyone who’s curious about catching the Joe Pickett series (available on Paramount), here’s a trailer for you:

While the cat’s away…

George is on his way to his annual summer golf trip in BC, so I will be entertaining family and friends this week, as well as my usual activities. There’s a local concert in the waterfront park this evening and I will be golfing, playing mahjong, etc. through the week. Here are some viewing suggestions for you:

On the Big Screen

Barbie (1 h 54 m) Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence. Perfect casting of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (who does deserve an Oscar nod for his solo performance of “Just Ken”). Otherwise, at almost 2 hours of running time, I did find the film a little long and tedious. Judge for yourself!!

CBC Gem

Lucky Grandma (1 h 27 m) Set in NYC’s Chinatown, an ornery, chain-smoking Chinese grandma goes all in at the casino, landing herself on the wrong side of luck – and in the middle of a gang war. Delightful!

Crave

Tiny Shoulders, Rethinking Barbie (Documentary, 1 h 31 m) This film is definitely the inspiration for the current feature film. Barbie, the most popular doll ever created, is a fashion icon and a target for feminists. This telling documentary features new footage, access to Barbie’s biggest reinvention, and examines over 60 years of women through the lens of an 11.5 – inch plastic doll. Fabulous!!

Billions (Season 7, 12 episodes) Damian Lewis is back and ready to cause more mayhem on Wall St. I had to tune in for the big reveal, but I lost interest in this series about two seasons ago with the endless game of cat vs dog.

Warrior (Season 3, 10 episodes) The chaos continues in Chinatown as new alliances form. Andrew Koji stars as the magnetic warrior Ah Sahm. I will miss this insane series when its last episode airs next week.

Furia (from Norway, 14 episodes) Asgeir and Ragna get entangled in a web of radical right-wing groups and followers – sending them on a journey from the fjords of Norway to a Berlin preparing for Germany’s election. I am so desperate for Nordic Noir, that I may have already seen this one as it does seem a little familiar.

Thunder Bay (4 episodes) A documentary series about the murders of Indigenous people in the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario and the racism which allowed it to occur. So terribly sad.

Disney

Only Murders in the Building (season 3, 10 episodes) I found Season 1 too silly to watch, skipped Season 2 altogether but couldn’t help tuning in to Season 3 featuring Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd. Still so silly, but who could resist?

A Small Light (8 episodes) Follows the remarkable story of Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who risked her life to shelter Anne Frank’s family from the Nazis for more than two years during WWII. Stars Bel Powley, Liev Schreiber, Ian McElhinney, Joe Cole. So touching and true.

Chevalier (1 h 48 m) Based on factual story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the illegitimate son of an African enslaved and a French plantation owner, who rises to heights in French society as a composer before an ill-fated love affair. A very little known true story!!

FX

Breeders (Season 4, 10 episodes) A couple struggles with the challenges of marriage and parenthood. Stars Martin Freeman, Daisy Haggard, Alun Armstrong, Stella Gonet, Patrick Baladi. Very wry and British.

Justified: City Primeval  (8 episodes) Series based on Elmore Leonard’s novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit”. Stars Timothy Olyphant and Boyd Holbrook. So glad to have Raylan Givens back!

What We do in the Shadows (Season 5, 10 episodes) I keep forgetting to write about this delightful vampire series. Not for everyone, but I find it hilarious. Especially poor Guillermo, the familiar, who is literally dying to become a vampire.

Netflix

Happiness for Beginners (1 h 43 m) Is it Hallmark or Netflix? Helen signs up for a wilderess survival course, a year after getting divorced. She discovers through this experience that sometimes, you have to get really lost in order to find yourself. So startlingly predictable!!!

Painkiller (6 episodes) This is essentially the same story as Dopesick. Why, why did they have to do another retelling of the Sackler family story of shame. Matthew Broderick is kind of robotic, Taylor Kitsch is unbearably painful to watch in his decline, and Uzo Aduba is more ‘crazy eyes” than she was in Orange is the New Black.

Heart of Stone (2 h 2 m) An intelligence operative for a shadowy global peacekeeping agency races to stop a hacker from stealing its most valuable and dangerous weapon. Gail Gadot and Jane Dornan star. Terrible script, convoluted plot ful of cliches, terrible acting. Watch at your own risk!

The King Who Never Was (documentary, 3 episodes) This series sheds light on the killing of a German teenager in ’78 through the accounts of his sister and the royal family involved in the case. Fantastic!!!

Prime

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (from Australia, 7 episodes) Follows a young girl, Alice Hart, whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life. Stars Sigourney Weaver (who could have used a better dialect coach), Asher Keddie. Mesmerizing but very dark.

Red, White and Royal Blue (1 h 58 m) When the feud between the son of the American President and Britain’s prince threatens to drive a wedge in US/British relations, the two are forced into a staged truce that sparks something deeper. Uma Thurman has some explaining to do for her performance as a Southern US President with an accent worse than Daniel Craig’s in those terrible Glass Onion/Knives Out movies he keeps doing. Again, so predictable, is it Hallmark or Netflix?

Streaming

Last Flight Home (documentary, 1 h 46 m) In his final days, we discover Eli Timoner and an extraordinary life of wild achievements, tragic loss and most of all, enduring love. This film shares a stunning verite account of a courageous family confronting life and death. Get out your hankies for this incredible documentary.

Heels (Season 2, 8 episodes) The brothers are still at it wrestling over their father’s wrestling empire in small-town Georgia. You have to really like Canadian actor Stephen Amell to like this!

Closing Thoughts

Here is Ryan Gosling killing it in Barbie:

Family weekend…

One son has left and the other with his little family is just packing up. The weekend featured lots of family meals and even a rousing game of Rummoli as our kids reminisced about their camp days. Our little grandson got to try out all his pool floaties and we did a fair amount of screaming and scampering as bats fluttered from our patio umbrellas as we opened them. In the meantime, here are some viewing suggestions for you:

Apple

The Beanie Bubble (1 h 50 m) Ty Warner was a frustrated toy salesman until his collaboration with three women grew his idea into the biggest toy craze in history. Stars Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook. I wasn’t a huge fan of this but my husband loved it. Galifianakis is unrecognizable!

Hijack (7 episodes) a plane from Dubai to London is hijacked over a 7-hour flight, while authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Engrossing and action-packed with a great performance from Idris Elba as negotiator Sam Nelson. Loved this!

CBC Gem

The Ex-Wife (4 episodes) Tasha has the perfect house, a loving husband and a beautiful little girl. Her life could be perfect if it wasn’t for Jen, her husband’s ex-wife who just won’t leave them alone. Stars Tom Mison and Janet Montgomery. Dark and mysterious. A true noir.

Crave

Warrior (Season 3, 10 episodes) The chaos continues in Chinatown as new alliances form. Andrew Koji stars as the magnetic warrior Ah Sahm.

The Other Two (Season 3, 10 episodes) An aspiring actor and his sister Brooke, a former professional dancer, try to find their places in the world while wresting with their feelings about their teenage brother Chase’s sudden rise to Bieber-like fame. Great cast includes Ken Marino and Molly Shannon. Possibly the funniest show on TV right now.

Little Bird (6 episodes) This Canadian series is about the Sixties Scoop of aboriginal children taken from their families and a woman who is finding her family. It gives the viewers some insight into the great trauma that this caused for parents and children.

Disney

A Small Light (8 episodes) Follows the remarkable story of Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who risked her life to shelter Anne Frank’s family from the Nazis for more than two years during WWII. Stars Bel Powley, Liev Schreiber, Ian McElhinney, Joe Cole. So touching and true.

Netflix

The Truth About of Killer Robots (Documentary, 1 h 25 m) HBO doc that shows how humans are becoming more and more dependent on robots. A must see amidst all the controversy about AI.

Wham! (1 h 32 m) Through archival interviews and footage, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley relive the arc of their Wham career, from ’70’s best buds to ’80’s pop icons. I loved this and had no idea about how popular this duo was during their heyday.

They Cloned Tyrone (2 h 2 m) A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy in this pulpy mystery caper. Not for me, I’m afraid. Stars John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, Kiefer Sutherland, David Alan Grier. Blaxploitation returns!!

The Deepest Breath (Documentary, 1 h 48 m) A free diving champion and an expert safety diver seemed destined for one another. Despite different paths taken, they meet at the pinnacle of the free-diving world, experiencing the thrilling rewards and inescapable risks of chasing dreams through the depths of the ocean. Inspiring and heartbreaking, you can’t take your eyes off this one.

Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food (Documentary, 1 h 23 m) a call to action for the officials who have the power to mitigate te the danger caused by food borne pathogens that kill thousands of people in the US every year. Mesmerizing. Never buy salads in bags and always cook those hamburgers to 155 degrees.

7 Days Out (Documentary, 6 episodes) a series that documentaries behind the scenes of some of the largest events in the world. Fantastic!!!

Fisk (From Australia, Season 1, 6 episodes) Fast-paced comedy about high-end contracts lawyer Helen Tudor-Fisk, who is forced to take a job at a shabby suburban law firm following a humiliating marriage breakdown and a professional fall from grace. Absolutely hilarious!!!

PBS

Ridley (4 episodes) Retired Detective Alex Ridley is lured back into service as a consultant detective when his former protegee, Carol Faran, needs help cracking a complex murder case;. Delightful to see Georgie Glen (the stalwart doctor’s secretary on Call the Midwife) promoted to play a forensic pathologist. Adrien Dunbar stars. This is a bit of a snooze, but has a lovely jazzy musical score.

Grantchester  (Season 8, 6 episodes) We are back in Cambridgeshire with Robson Green as an aging detective and Tom Brittney as a dishy vicar with a knack for solving crimes.

FX

Justified: City Primeval  (8 episodes) Series based on Elmore Leonard’s novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit”. Stars Timothy Olyphant and Boyd Holbrook. So glad to have Raylan Givens back!

Streaming

Polite Society (1 h 44 m) Ria Khan believe she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage.

To Catch a Killer (1 h 69 m) Baltimore. NY Eve, a takented but troubled police officer (Shailene Woodley) is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator (Ben Mendelsohn) to profile and track down a disturbed individual terrorizing the city. Good little suspense film starring the great Mendelsohn.

Special Ops: Lioness (8 episodes) Joe attempts to balance her personal and professioal life as the tip of the spear in the CIA’s war on terror. She enlists Cruz, a Marine Raider, as an undercover operative in the Lioness Program. Stars Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman. (Spoiler alert: Hellfire missile is dropped from a Reaper drone in an almost identical scene to one in Mission Kandahar which we watched right before Lioness.)

Prime

Operation Fortune (1 h 54 m) Special agent Orson Fortune and his team of operatives recruit one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars to help them on an undercover mission when the sale of a deadly new weapons technology threatens to disrupt the world order. Stars Jason Statham,Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Hugh Grant, Josh Hartnett. A criminal waste of talent directed by Guy Ritchie.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (from Australia, 7 episodes) Follows a young girl, Alice Hart, whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life. Stars Sigourney Weaver (who could have used a better dialect coach), Asher Keddie. Mesmerizing but very dark.

Robots (1 h 33 m) Charles is a womanizer while Elaine is a gold digger. The duo learn humanity when forced to team up and pursue robot doubles of themselves. Stars Shailene Woodley and Jack Whitehall. Staggeringly silly.
